6 Words to Tell Yourself Every Morning

I’m in my 70’s and I’m going to start wearing my pearls with my leggings and vest.❤

Mel. I almost didnt listen to this podcast. I heard the word fashion and immediately told myself this wasn't for me. Im not a fashionable person and probably couldnt relate to what the podcast was about. Was I wrong. I'm so glad I tuned in for a little while and realized it was for me! It is for all of us who struggle with body image, who we once were and who we are now. We dont need to buy clothing 2 sizes bigger to hide under. It's ok to embrace who we are at this moment in time and embrace it. I recently stepped out of my " comfort zone" and bought a fun ski coat. Iam new to the sport, so I wanted to have a new piece of clothing that refected my fun side. I wore it on a ski trip to Stowe VT, and you know what.....I felt freakin amazing! This newbie skier felt just a little more confidence just by feeling good about how this darn jacket mafe me feel. So thank you Mel, and everyone who helps in the production of the podcaats, for helping all of us a better version of ourselves with the informative topics you share with us. Just incase nobody told you today....I love you and you matter!

My mother wore her pearls working in the garden. My brother said mom you're wearing your pearls. She said, I will wear them wherever I want.☺

Mel I love you, you dig deep and get to the heart of things. However, I felt like I wasn't able to get the whole answer because your guest wasn't able to finish. Maybe have your team review the transcripts, you might see where you asked something, she starts to respond and then you speak your version of what she's saying in relation to your experience... while the guest was trying to finish the thought. So the information became difficult to follow because I kept wanting to forward to her answer. Lovely guest, tremendously informative and intuitive. I would have enjoyed hearing her speak more about your questions. You are passionate and we can relate to you Mel you are just like us and I love that about you relatable and approachable. You ask what we want to hear and that is a gift! I just hoped to hear more from the guest. I would love it if you would have this guest back! ❤ that said, I do apologize if I have said anything that would seem negative. Thank you for your podcasts🙏this particular one bringing your guests very special perspective to us!

As a former professional negotiator and investigator who handled countless cases involving women’s safety and crisis, I see this closet struggle as more than just fashion—it’s a silent negotiation with one's own identity. Whether you are a high-achieving leader or a survivor in the middle of a storm, your reflection in the mirror is the first person you must 'rescue.' Choosing what to wear is the first step in reclaiming your power. Mel and Erin, thank you for showing the path to this vital self-rescue.

YES!!! I am known in my family as the “fashionista”. I don’t go out of the house without makeup, coordinated clothing (not talking fancy) and jewelry/ scarves. I have had crazy comments like “you look so sophisticated” or “where is the fashion show” and all I was wearing was a nice sweater, pants, basic accessories. My family knows the day I show up a mess, they can call the undertaker 😂 I dress for me and how I want to feel, and perhaps I can inspire someone to take a second look in the mirror. Happy 70 year old here, so have had lots of practice 😉

I listened to this as I was getting dressed this morning. You should see how cute I look! 😅🙌🫶

I’m five months postpartum, listening to this while trying to put on makeup with my baby on my lap… and I’m in tears. Jessie, thank you for your honesty and vulnerability. It really lands. This season of becoming a mother while also trying to find yourself again in a new body and identity can feel so overwhelming, and hearing you speak to it makes me feel a little less alone. Sending you so much love. 💚

Wow. Never thought of getting dressed like that. I usually pick what I wear based on how I already feel that day, not how I WANT to feel. What a game changer.

THANK-YOU finally a stylist who actually mentions underwear as the foundation of the wardrobe! As a 20 year professional bra fitter and educator of future bra fitters it has been re-affirmed over and over again that women here in North America especially forget ... We are the most important person in the world who sees, feels and spends more time in our underwear than in any other garment in our wardrobe. Our underwear is what supports us! The sad part is women are not taught how bras and underwear should fit our beautiful bodies! Our bras should be comfortable, should support our movement and are designed to support our posture & breathing. There is still so much more that women need to know about their underwear! In our changerooms we not only lift spirits we blow minds with the knowledge and education! Please do another show on the underwear! On a personal note - thanks for all you do!
